# Reading And Illustrating the New Testament

# (READ FIRST) Introduction to Project

## Reading Schedule

There are 260 chapters in the New Testament. So, by reading 2 chapters a day will complete the New Testament in 130 days. Beginning our project on January 1, 2022 we should complete it by May 10, 2022.

## How should I do this?

1. STEP 1: Read

Set aside 20 minutes a day (especially helpful if it is the same time every day) for reading the day's passage. While reading jot down any concepts or images that stick out to you from the reading.

2. STEP 2: Choose a Scripture from your reading as your main text.
3. STEP 3: Create! After reading, illustrate by drawing, painting, etc. on the medium of your choice (See ideas below "Ideas for Illustrative Forms") a single concept from the passage or even an overview of the passage. **IT IS UP TO YOU**.

## Send In Your Illustration

Take a picture or send a digital copy of your completed illustration or illustrations each week and email them to: <u>sgrjr@deliverance.me</u>. Send this in EACH week **before** Sunday School even if your illustration isn't quite complete.

## Revisit this Page

Visit this page every day to check the passages to read and review uploaded illustrations.

## Ideas for Illustrative Forms

We can borrow tools and formats from one, all, or none of the seven art forms: Painting, Sculpture, Literature, Architecture, Theater, Film and Music.

1. **Painting**

Your painting surface can be a stretched linen or cotton canvas, wood, metal, plastic, paper, glass, etc..

You can 'paint' with watercolors, oils, acrylics, spray paint, markers, etc.

Also consider Pen, Pencil, or Crayon Sketches.

2. **Sculpture**

You can sculpture using materials like marble, wood, copper or bronze, clay, or even play dough.

3. **Literature**

- Poetry ( Haiku, metered and or ryhmed verse, a psalm)
- Write a Short Story, Essay, Composition
- Research and Display Board

4. **Architecture**

- Recreate a biblical structure like the Bethlehem stable.

5. **Theatre**

- Skit, Play, Dramatic Monologue, Dialogue ( comedy, drama)

6. **Film**

- Scripture Video (Scripture reading as narration with video as accompaniment to the Scripture text.)
- Animation (Flipbook, 2D drawing, stop-frame)
- Photography (portait, scenery, animals, character trait/virtue, collage, mosaic, etc.)

7. **Music**

Write a Song and or compose a piece of music.

8. **Miscellanous Ideas**

- Invent a game (for example requring memory of a verse to succeed)# Resources

## Notes

- The Genealogy of Jesus is important as it reminds us to consider the birth of this baby Jesus in light of the great Biblical scene and not an isolated incident.
- Jesus is from the line of David.
- Jesus is from the line of Abraham.
- Why Booz, Jeremy, Esaias spelled differently than in the Old Testament?# Week 2

### The Writer of the Gospel of John

- The Gospel of John was written between A.D. 85 and 90 by John the Beloved, the disciple of Jesus.
- This John is not to be confused with John the Baptist. - He was born in Bethsaida of Galilee to Zebedee, a fisherman, and Salome, whom some believe to be the sister of Mary the mother of Jesus.
- He had at least one brother, James, and they both joined their father in his trade of fishing.
- John does not use his own name when writing this gospel; instead he refers to himself as "the other disciple" or "the disciple whom Jesus loved." There is internal evidence that shows that John was the author as we can see from John 21:24, 25. (John 18:16; 20:2; 20:3; 20:4; 20:8)
- While exiled on the Island of Patmos, John recorded the book of Revelation.
- Irenaeus wrote that John was eventually released from Patmos and lived in Ephesus. It was during this time at Ephesus that Irenaeus claims John wrote the Gospel of John. In the meantime, the apostles had preached the Gospel, Paul and Peter had suffered martyrdom, and all the apostles had passed to their reward, and Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. Clement of Alexandria (c.150 - c. 215) says, "Last of all, John, observing that in the other Gospels those things were related that concerned the body of Christ, and being persuaded by his friends, also moved by the Spirit of God, wrote a spiritual Gospel."

## The Purpose of the Gospel

> Joh 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

The purpose of John is to given an account of signs that proved that Jesus was the Messiah. The goal of John was that men might believe upon reading the accounts given within its pages.

Throughout the book we find the three key thoughts given here in John 20:30, 31; those thoughts are:

- signs,
- believing, and
- life.

We see many signs in the book of John that prove that Jesus was the Son of God, these signs produced faith (believing) in Him and His work, and the result was that those that believed received eternal life.

### SIGNS: **Jesus is The Master of…**

There are nine distinct signs in John that prove Jesus to be Master of things that we face every day.

- **\#1 Quality** Turned water into wine
- **\#2 Souls** Cleansed the temple
- **\#3 Distance and Space** Healed the Noble man's son
- **\#4 Time** Healed the impotent man
- **\#5 Quantity** Fed 5,000
- **\#6 Natural Law** Walked on water
- **\#7 Misfortune** Healed the blind man
- **\#8 Death** Resurrected Lazarus
- **\#9 Love** Helped the disciples catch the draught of fish

### BELIEVING: **The Gospel was written that men might believe**

Believing means to trust and personally commit yourself to Christ. It could could also be said that believing is relying on Christ with conviction. The words that involve believing (i.e. faith and believe) are used 98 times in John.

### LIFE: **The Gospel was written that men might have life**

When men see the signs and believe in them, then life is given. This life is more than natural life, but it is spiritual life—the life of Christ. This life is a restored fellowship between God and man (17:3), which was lost when Adam disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit. There are many references to this spiritual life in the Gospel of John, including 3:16; 3:36; 4:14; 5:24; 6:47; 8:12; 10:10; 11:25 and 12:25

### Pictures of Jesus

Each of the 21 Chapters contains a striking portrayal of some aspect of the character or work of the Savior.

1. CHAPTER ONE: He is the Son of God.
2. CHAPTER TWO: He is the Son of Man. He appears as a guest at the marriage in Cana of Galilee.
3. CHAPTER THREE: He is the Divine Teacher.
4. CHAPTER FOUR: He is the Soul Winner.
5. CHAPTER FIVE: He is the Great Physician. He is seen here bending in compassion over the sufferers at the pool. He shows His divine power by the instantaneous cure of a hopeless case.
6. CHAPTER SIX: He is the Bread of Life. As we read this chapter we realize that without Him the souls perish of hunger.
7. CHAPTER SEVEN: He is the Water of Life. From verse 37 we see that He is able to satisfy the thirsty heart.
8. CHAPTER EIGHT: He is the Defender of the Weak. Here we have a scene showing His gallant defense of a woman that have been found guilty of breaking the law.
9. CHAPTER NINE: He is the Light of the World. He demonstrates His right to this distinction by giving light to one who was born blind.
10. CHAPTER TEN: He is the Good Shepherd. He watches over "the flock" with infinite care and gives His life for His sheep.
11. CHAPTER ELEVEN: He is the Resurrection and the Life. He proves His right to this title by calling Lazarus from the tomb.
12. CHAPTER TWELVE: He is the King. He rides into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and is acclaimed King of Israel by the multitudes.
13. CHAPTER THIRTEEN: He is the Lowly Servant. Here we have the marvelous scene of His condescension as He washes the disciples' feet.
14. CHAPTER FOURTEEN: He is the Consoler. Although standing under the very shadow of His cross, in utter self-forgetfulness, He comforts the sorrowing disciples.
15. CHAPTER FIFTEEN: He is the True Vine. We see Him as the source of all spiritual fruit.
16. CHAPTER SIXTEEN: He is the Giver of the Spirit. On His departure He promised to send the comforter into the world.
17. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: He is the Great Intercessor. He offers up His wonderful intercessory prayers for the church.
18. CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: He is the Model Sufferer. He submissively drinks the cup of woe pressed to His lips by the Father's hand.
19. CHAPTER NINETEEN: He is the Uplifted Savior. He becomes obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
20. CHAPTER TWENTY: He is the Victory Over Death. As Christ arises from the grave we see that He has power over that final enemy.
21. CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: He is the Restorer of the Penitent. He welcomes wandering Peter back to the fold and commissions him to feed the sheep and lambs.# Week 8

### Introduction to I Peter

#### Writer:

- Peter an Apostle of Jesus Christ
- Silvanus was employed as an assistant for the first letter (1 Pet. 5:12) but none is mentioned for the second letter.
- written AD 62 and 64. Paul was imprisoned around AD 60 to 62 and he never mentioned Peter. Likewise, Peter never mentions Paul being in Rome with him. Only Silvanus and Mark were with Peter (1 Pet. 5:12-13). This suggests that 1 Peter was after AD 62 when Paul was imprisoned and released for a time, but at a time before 2 Peter. So, when was 2 Peter written?
- 2 Peter, like 1 Peter, was likely written from a Roman prison cell. The author of 2 Peter know that he is about to soon die as he writes “since I know that I will soon lay aside my tent, as our Lord Jesus Christ has indeed made clear to me” (2 Pet. 1:14)

#### The Purpose For Writing I Peter

- To exhort and testify the revelation given to him 5:12
- To fulfill the two commandments Lord gave personally to him.
- Strengthen the brethren Luke 22:32 I Peter 5:10 II Peter 1:12
- Feed the flock John 21:15-17 I Peter 5:2
- To show the Word of the Lord endures forever I Peter 1:25
- The Word was living in Peter ( 1:25)
- The Word was to live in them (1:23, 25)
- The Word is to live in us
- Every believer is to be guarded by the power of God (1:5)

#### Theme

- The TRUE Grace of God (I Peter 5:12)

> 1 Peter 5:12 — By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

### Chapter 4

We should suffer patiently, after the example of Christ, 1. And no longer live according to our former custom, but disregard the scoffs of those who are incensed against us because we have forsaken their evil ways, who are shortly to give account to God for their conduct, 2-5. How the Gospel was preached to Jews and Gentiles, 6. As the end of all things was at hand, they should be sober, watchful, charitable, benevolent, good stewards of the bounty of Providence; and, when called to instruct others, speak as the oracles of God, 7-11. Of the persecutions and trials which were coming upon them, and how they were to suffer so as not to disgrace their Christian character, 12-16. Judgment was about to begin at the house of God, and even the righteous would escape with difficulty from the calamities coming upon the Jews; but they must continue in well-doing, and thus commit the keeping of their souls to their faithful Creator, 17-19.

Trials 1:6,7; 2:19-23; 4:12,13,19; 5:9,10 A season of heaviness Sickness 2:24 By Whose stripes ye were healed Opportunity to witness 3:13-21; 4:13; 5:1,2 Give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you The Stewardship of the Believer 4:1,7 - 5:14 Having the mind of Christ 4:1 Have the love of God 4:8 Having the gifts of God 4:10 Having the ability which God gives 4:11 Having the glory of God revealed in your life 4:14; 5:1

### Chapter 5

Directions to the elders to feed the flock of God, and not to be lord over God's heritage, that when the chief Shepherd does appear, they may receive a crown of glory, 1-4. The young are to submit themselves to the elder, and to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, and cast all their care upon him, 6-7. They should be sober and watchful, because their adversary the devil is continually seeking their destruction, whom they are to resist, steadfast in the faith, 8, 9. They are informed that the God of all grace had called them to his eternal glory, 10- 11. Of Silvanus, by whom this epistle was sent, 12. Salutations from the Church at Babylon, 13. The apostolic benediction, 14.

The Submission of the believer

Submit yourself to God 5:5,6

Be steadfast 5:9, 12 Salute 5:13

Greet ye one anther with love and peace 5:14# Week 19

## Test #1 Jude

### INTRODUCTION SCRIPT: 

There are 5 puzzles.

### 1. Puzzle #1:

- **PUZZLE**: DIFFUSE THE BOMB. 1 person is the diffuser, and the rest are the 'experts' with the manual. They must talk the diffuser through disarming the Bomb.
    
    - MANUAL: Use the brothers of Jesus to diffuse the Bomb. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cjqFXj7q-I15_Qohs4k6Wo7kwU5ivfgT9352Q6VwT0M/edit#
    
- **FACT**: The four brothers of Jesus named in the Bible: James, Joseph (also referred to as Joses), Simon, and Judas (also referred to as Jude).
    
> Jude 1:1 &mdash; Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and **brother of James**, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
    
> Mt 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, **James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas**?
    
   - This contradicts the R.C. doctrine of the 'perpetual virginity of Mary.' (Matthew 1:25 'first born son')
    
### 2. Puzzle #2: 

- FACT: His names:  Jude, Judas, Thaddaeus, or Lebbaeus, "not Iscariot"

> Jude 1:1 &mdash; **Jude**, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

> John 14:22  &mdash; **Judas** saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

>  Matthew 10:3 &mdash; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and **Lebbaeus**, whose surname was **Thaddaeus**;

"Judas" in New Testament contexts corresponds to "Judah" in Old Testament ones. Note that masculine names ending in "-ah" when translated from Hebrew directly to English usually end in "-as" when the translation passes through Greek, since in Greek a terminal "-a" is normally feminine, but a terminal "-as" is normally masculine. Thus we have "Elijah" => "Elias," "Jeremiah" => "Jeremias," etc.)

Judah (Hebrew) -> Judas (Greek) -> Jude (English)

As in English names like Edward, Ed, Ted, and Ned, are considered to be equivalent so different names can be considered equivelant in Hebrew. Also, many Jewish names are considered in some Jewish circles to have Gentile equivalents (Moishe = Maurice, Yitzak = Isadore, Yaakov = Jack, Label = Larry, Shmuel = Shawn, etc.).

### 3. Puzzle #3:

- FACT: Many quotations from this book are used in II Peter.  The Book of Jude is closely related to the book of 2 Peter. The date of authorship for Jude depends on whether Jude used content from 2 Peter, or Peter used content from Jude when writing 2 Peter. The Book of Jude was written somewhere between A.D. 60 and 80.

> <u>History of the Large Handwritten Bible</u>. The project, initiated in 1923 by then Superintendent of the Bible Society, Edmund T Garland, involved distributing pages from an old Bible along with large (21’x28’) blank sheets. Individuals from across the State each copied a page using pen and ink. The desire was for a broad cross-section of citizens to participate.  The oldest was Aunt Mary, a 91-year-old Quaker from Brunswick; the youngest was a 6-year-old who wrote, "Jesus wept”. One page was written by a millionaire, one by a pauper.  One copyist was a college president; another was a man whose whole school life consisted of only a few weeks.  Another was written by then Gov. Percival Baxter, and yet another by a prisoner serving a life term. A Jewish Rabbi and a Greek Catholic Priest did their pages with equal grace, and the Book of Ruth was copied by girls named Ruth. Many of the copyists were students at secondary schools or colleges, including a student from Cuba. Each signed their name at the bottom of the page. There are also beautifully ink-drawn, full-page illustrations. In March 2017, we donated this treasure to the Maine Historical Society, located in Portland at the Wadsworth-Longfellow House, 489 Congress St., Portland, Maine.

### 4. Puzzle #4: Video Puzzle

- FACT: The Book of Jude is an important book for us today because it is written for the end times, for the end of the church age. The church age began at the Day of Pentecost. Jude is the only book given entirely to the great apostasy. Jude writes that evil works are the evidence of apostasy. He admonishes us to contend for the faith, for there are tares among the wheat. False prophets are in the church and the saints are in danger.
    
> Jude 3: “Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.”
    
According to verse 3, Jude was anxious to write about our salvation; however, he changed topics to address contending for the faith. 
    
WATCH THIS: (Mary Jones and her Bible)[https://youtu.be/XpwHm0MSCwA]

Preacher selling bibles: **Rev. Charles**. The First Bible Society of Wales.
    
### 5. Puzzle #5: Where was Jude possibly martyred?

- Puzzle: Map
- FACT: "Passion of Simon and Jude" a 4th century writing depicts Simon the Zealot and Jude went together as missionaries to Persia, and were martyred there.
